Her hubby had custody of the family brassiere that day so she needed the extra shirt to conceal her nipples.

What good is it to be a hyper-Xtian busybody if you can't punish strangers for failing to espouse the same bundle of bushwa that you do? US America is going to just give up the centuries old practice of violently opposing others' right to disagree with the most clamorous and self-righteous among us?

That there's a problem. She ran for her office with a (D) after her name. Dixiecrat.

A little ditty I penned that was precipitated by, but not actually about, li'l Kim:

Her Teeth Were Stained, But Her Heart Was Pure: A TragicWaltz

(inspired by a Molly Ivins essay, "Lubbock: 'Her TeethAre Stained But Her Heart Is Pure'")

Her teeth were stained, but her heart was pureShe hearkened to heavenly lawAnd ev'rything sinful she did abjureExcept the occasional chaw.

[chorus:]Except the occasional chaw, O LordExcept the occasional chawAnd J.T.S. Brown when she's down, dear Lord;Light whorin' when mad at her paw.

She cleaned up her person for Sunday schoolAnd put on a dress of pure whiteThe preacher spoke sweet; he was God's own toolAnd then he defiled her that night.

[chorus:]And then he defiled her that night, sweet LordAnd then he defiled her that nightAnd God's name in vain did he take, sweet LordWhen she gripped him ever suh tight.

Our lass got it on with ol' Colonel JonesAnd the paper route boy name of ClydeYou'd think she'd've fractured them brittle bonesBut no; it was young Clyde who died.

[chorus:]Died happy? well, maybe, but dead is deadAnd twelve's a mite young for the grave;I spotted her giving a goalie headBefore he dove in for the save.

Now this would be common depravityAnother sad story of sinBut this is a tale of great gravityA moral is hidden within.

[chorus:]For, making free use of democracyShe protested marriage for gays;'Twas pure Bible-thumping hypocrisy – She held the state record for lays.

[chorus:]On faithful gay couples this girl would pinAn undeserved badge of disgrace;When you break commandments like Earl breaks windPrepare to get cum on your face.

If she takes that clock into a school in Texas she'll be in BIG trouble.

Not Davis, Rowan County. The tax payers pay for services. The county is not providing some of those services.

Rowan County was sued. It is a co-defendant with Kim Davis in the case.

If Kim Davis had a child come out as gay, she would of course love them. To death, in short order.

The Rowan County Clerk's office is a fucking mess, set up by Kim's mom. It does not have to declare a budget, it doesn't have to file expenditure reports, it has no oversight of it's spending. Kim, as head Clerk, has total control over who gets paid what, and can fire and hire as she pleases. When her mom was the head Clerk, she hired Kim, and set her wages at -- I think it was 60K a year? -- anyway, it was considerably more than what the sheriff was making at the time. There were complaints and everything, but in the end, nothing came of it. Now Kim has hired her son to be a clerk, and who knows just how much she's paying HIM. They are all, of course, drawing full benefits, in addition to making more than the majority of Rowan county residents does (something like a 30K median household income). In addition, there's no one checking to make sure that Kim isn't using her job's access to county and state money to fund her religious or personal interests.

Also her daughter stole somebody's dog, on camera no less, and has never given him back or faced legal consequences over it, even thought he owner is still running online campaigns to get Charlie Brown returned.

The entire family is a fucking mess, and seems to wield greater authority locally than they have any right to. And they are all, to a person, horrible people. If nothing else, maybe all this publicity will goad people into taking back control of Kim Davis's little tyrannical kingdom in the County Clerk office, and bringing her and her son's wages back in line.

You want to shorten Kim's life, get her some kind of "daily discount" cards for Dunkin Donuts. Her church doesn't really allow drinking, and definitlyl doesn't allow drugs, or screwing men she isn't married to, so there isn't much fun stuff left besides junk food.

Plus, if she resigns too soon, she won't get her pension calculated based on that sweet 80K. She needs to stay on long enough for it to be her official highest wages.
